Winnipeg Jets.
SLAP SHOT play.
Game 21.
7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST.
Guys, I've made a pretty successful career going against the grain. Today I'm once again going to buck the tide, and go against the general public as I'm taking the Winnipeg Jets. I am well aware the Colorado Avalanche finished the regular season the top-scoring team in the NHL. I am also aware they are a strong team when playing at the Ball Arena. However, the Winnipeg Jets are a darn good road team. They also score quite a bit of goals. But it is their defense that prompts me to side with them here. They finished the regular season the second ranked team in hockey, yielding just 2.4 goals per game, and that will be the difference here. Especially after the Game 2 defeat in which they allowed five goals. Please remember the Jets dominate this rivalry, taking eight of the last 10 meetings, which doesn't include three of the last four played as a visitor. Take Winnipeg. Thank you.
